Reeperbahn Festival: Track ID | yung_womb

A selection about night, memory, resistance, and transcendence, carried by generations of Black American music. Jazz, soul, gospel, hip-hop, spiritual music and the avant-garde flow into one another, from Mahalia Jackson and Buster Bailey to Alice Coltrane, Gil Scott-Heron and Grover Washington; from the church and the blues to Makaya McCraven, Kassa Overall and a new generation reshaping the lineage.

These songs feel like a conversation across time. Rooted in history, but always moving forward. Music of struggle and beauty, intimacy and freedom, the sacred and the streets.
